My name is Anders and I live in Denmark in Europe. Just wanted to let you know
that you have a cool website (mostly the xmas-part with the webcam). Too bad I
live in Denmark so I can only operate the lights between 2:00 and 6:00 am. :(
Your website was mentioned in the "Denmarks Radio ch. 4" radio station lately
- a good radio station in Copenhagen. They were discussing American Christmas
traditions and suddenly your house and website came up because of the
22.000 lights.
Some neighbors dropped off an
award for most beautiful Christmas lights in 2002
- this was pretty cute! ;-)
I got Slashdotted
which means my web site got swamped with hits. My own brother Myke did
this to me on Xmas Eve ... so I will get back at him by crushing him
in front of the Internet in a game of
Rock Paper Scissors Roshambo.
It was mentioned a variety of other on-line forums, too numerous to mention.
Total web hits was over a 100,000 - read about it here.
If you saw it anywhere else, pls
send me an Email.
P.S. As things happened, I posted a variety of
updates on the web page
